Award‑winning B2B branding agency helping ambitious organisations clarify positioning, strengthen reputation and drive sustainable growth.
TOTEM is an award‑winning B2B branding agency that helps ambitious organisations clarify their positioning, strengthen their reputation and drive sustainable growth. From our base in Waterford, working across Ireland, the US and Europe, we partner with leadership teams in regulated, technical and service‑driven sectors including technology, life sciences, financial and business services.
We specialise in strategic rebrands, brand architecture and reputation‑led brand systems that turn complex businesses into clear, confident brands people trust. Typical clients are scaling companies entering new markets, preparing for investment or exit, or competing against better‑known incumbents and needing to stand out with a sharper story.
Our work ranges from brand strategy, naming and messaging through to identity, websites and investor‑ready pitch materials, ensuring consistency from boardroom to browser. We have developed meaningful brands such as Media Connect (Virgin Media’s wholesale division), Aton (Euronext‑listed life sciences group) and Réalta, the new national body for Arts and Health in Ireland, with results recognised at the Transform Europe Awards and in the 100 Archive.
At every stage, we guide clients through a clear, collaborative process: we simplify the challenge, create distinctive brand solutions and empower in‑house teams with the tools, language and confidence they need to communicate, sell and recruit more effectively.
Why work with us

Our process is research‑driven and collaborative, engaging your senior stakeholders so decisions are robust, understood and easier to implement.
Clients choose TOTEM when the stakes are high: entering new markets, restructuring, preparing for funding or integrating acquisitions. We are known for cutting through complexity, asking the right questions and distilling a clear, compelling brand story your team can rally behind, and your market can quickly understand.
As long‑term partners, we stay close beyond launch with ongoing brand guardianship, design support and campaigns, protecting the reputation you have built and keeping your brand aligned with your business strategy as you grow.
